I stayed ther for 5 weeks, only because it was the cheapest on hotels.com. There was 3 weeks in a row that i had issues. 1 week the bathroom light was not in its space correctly, i asked for it to ge fixed and it didn't. 2 i didnt have heat the night that i got there but i said something the next day and it did get fixed. The last week i didnt have hot water and come to find out that i had to barely turn the water on to get hot water so i could shower. Over all it was not a good experience and would not recommend.

This was a straight-out prostitute hotel. I was in the room for about five minutes before I told my daughter not to touch anything or sit on anything. People were living there and had the doors open. I’ve never seen a hotel room hoarded like these three open doors. We decided not to stay there. Waited for our Uber outside and saw a drug deal happen in the parking lot and then some guy tried to pick my daughter and I up as we waited for the Uber. It was nothing short of an experience. I suggest that if you have small children, stay clear, or they’re going to have some serious questions for you. Oh, and don’t forget the prostitutes, did I mention the prostitutes? I was there for a wedding, and when I told the wedding party where I booked and didn’t stay, they laughed at me and said why did you book a prostitute hotel? I had to ask them why they didn’t tell me not to book there. The pictures on the website are not the same as when you get there, down to the bedspreads on the beds.
